Rough cut feedback

Overall the lip syncing was rated quite highly and that is a really positive response as it can be very challenging trying to get the lip syncing to match the audio from the original song. We used a range of camera movements such as: extreme close ups, panning, handheld camera shots, mid and long shots and focus pulls. Our editing techniques consisted of layering, colour isolation, colour effects, slowed down and sped up shots. The framing and the controlled movement of the camera was rated positively in all of the feedback. The writing on the whiteboard effect worked really well as it was perfectly in time with the lyrics and the feedback shows that the audience responded positively to this

The negative feedback we received will help to influence us as to what we can do to improve on our music video. The genre of our video seemed to be unclear from the audience as they choice either narrative or concept. This was not entirely wrong as it is a narrative video with concept aspects. A big part of the video that we need to work on is the creativeness of both characters costumes and makeup as they don't appear to have anything out of the ordinary and it is all very simple and plain. This is something that does fit in with our genre, however, it would be excellent if we could incorporate some more into our video. There is one shot where the female character is sitting on a bridge, this shot is far too long and there is no editing effects to make it more interesting, we may need to shoot more footage in order to make this appear more interesting. The shot of the two characters in the mirror using each others reflection is a creative concept, however it could be done better through the use of editing rather than camera deception. This means that it will take more practise, filming time and editing in order to do this although the final product should be a good representation of these efforts.
